Social Anxiety.
Socially Awkward.
I saw my cousin at the store the other day, she's much younger than me & waaaay cooler. I noticed when I talk to her online that I can say anything, I can type it. But when it comes to face to face contact I freeze up like a loser. I really need to work on that.
I noticed too sometimes, my brain is screaming "talk!" but my mouth just won't move & half the time, my brain won't even tell me what to say. I grew up shy & I am actually a lot more shy than I was as a child. I don't know what to do in social situations & I really don't know how to combat that.
This is becoming redundant.
Most people label me as the creepy quiet friend & sometimes that bothers me.
How do I take that & make it something awesome?
I guess I probably should put myself in more social situations, but when I think about that I think I might have a panic attack.
Is there a pill I can take for that?
Most times, I don't even want to talk to people online because i get panic-y that I am going to say something stupid & never live it down. & like before, I don't even know what to say!
Oh well I should probably just deal with it.
writing this down really helps.
